from "reminiscences which have already appeared

sometimes carried him too far but on most OF the

and if he had reached the Presidency he would
have honored it. Without military educa-

what a Gentleman Who was Present
At eAGsCasinO Rail- Has 70 Say.
Ell PAso, Texas May 10-The following letter
was received yesterday. 1t was dated on the the
Mexican Central Railroad, May S, 1887 and ad-
dressed to the agent OF the Associated Press:
MY DEAR SIR: In the Ell PaSo Times OF the 9TH,
which travelling friend gave me, after meeting
a south-bOund train OF the Mexican Central rail-
way, find a telegram referring to the ball that
was held at the spanish Casino In the City OF Mex
leo on the 3Oth OF last April. Believing that you
have been misinrormed take the liberty of beg
gtng for a recti1catiOn, which hope you will
publish as you did the telegram above mentioned.
Here are the facts, nothing else: They notified
me as one OF the nOOr Managers that Mr. Baron
was dancing with Miss Bazafne
IN RATHER TOO NMoDEST A MANNER.
At once moved to see, but got there when just
the last note or the waltz was dying away, losing
thus the chance to judge for myself. The people
present informed me what l had been told
already. thought 1t better for the moment tOmake
no remark, but later, when In the dining room,
In the presence OF the daughter or an American
general the secretary OF the club saw fit TO give
Baron a hint MT, OF what what the people Were saving
when the writer interfering with calming words
for the sake of the young ladies present. tried his
best to establish peace, but Mr.. Baron did not
cease to believe himself offended and went
TO HUNT UP THE SPANISH MINISTER.
For the sake OF order thought 1t best TO follow
him. In coming across the Spanish minister Mr..
Baron began rather warmly to tell how the chief
secretary had offended the young lacies and him
self; and the minister instead OF trying to quiet
the thing and avoid an unpleasant scene, took the
part OF Baron. thought IL then my duty, for the
sake OF peace, to take the bellgerents out doors,
but the minister firmly declined. AT this time the
president of the club came and succeeded in
taking away Baron, leaving the Spanish minister
alone with the witnesses OF his behavior. What
the Spanish colony thinks OF the minister Is un-
known. A commission TO investigate the trouble
has reported that there was no ground for Mr..
Baron to believe that he was insulted by anybody.
And thus ends the true account OF the unpleasant
ness of the diplomatic ball On the evening OF April
30 last. Knowing you desire to do justice to the
case, remain yours, very thankfully,
